ORIGINAL: Joe D. Almost every forum moderator claims politics on these forums are verbotten, but it's not posted in the forum rules. Of course, arguing this w/a moderator could be interpreted as disrespectful, which is a rule. In any case, it shouldn't be difficult for Matrix to edit their list and add "no politics" -- w/a definition of what is political -- to the end of it. Or has this thread now become "political"? If so, mea culpa, in advance. Technically, Joe, it isn't an argument if the the user is correct and the moderator is incorrect. Neither is it disrespectful to correct some one who is incorrect. It may be interpreted that way by the person on the receiving end of the correction as a result of perhaps too thin a skin, but from the "correct" perspective it is a disprespectful to the truth not to correct them. Truth trumps always! Since you feel that way Hans , why don't you create a good defination for the moderators to adopt. That way it will measure up to your standard , and there should be no argument about it. I'm sure that they and all the other users of the forum would be greatly in your debt. Hey, what can I say. I'm actually not sorry you seem to be offended and I actually can't keep from not being sorry since, like so many others on this forum, I am an INTJ (see the "what personality type are you" thread). [:D] [:)] Sorry you seem to think I'm offended. I'm certainly not. I've just always found that when "hair splitters" find fault with anything (like a defination) , it's best to let them make the defination. It then becomes a situation of "put up or shut up". If they are they sincere in their critic , then they generally will jump in and resolve the problem or issue. If they are simply trying to aggravate the issue , they often claim that they are under attack or find some reason to be elsewhere , doing something else. An INTJ type personality is a person who generally is a great thinker and a problem solver.Obviously you are not a hair-splitter. So what I'm asking Merrill, is for you to help solve the problem. And who better than the person who discoverd and defined it? You can do a good deed for the forum , and end this re-occurring problem , once and for all. So please , help us out , and come up with a defination that we can submit to the moderators. We would all be in your debt. [:)]
